Session Description

Local district budgets are shrinking. Layoffs are threatening. Belt-tightening is on its way for the next school year. Everyone, including the state virtual school, will do more with less funding. Districts are counting on the state virtual school to meet student needs. But what courses do they need? How many seats? How can the virtual school program provide those making key funding decisions with data, as well as, meet client needs? Needs assessment is critical to getting it right!
